Ejectment and Distress (Ireland) Act, 1846

Party distraining for rent justly due not deemed a trespasser ab initio by reason of subsequent irregularity.

14. Where any distress shall be made for any rent justly due and any irregularity or unlawful act shall be afterwards done by the party distraining, or by his agents, the distress itself shall not be therefore deemed to be unlawful, nor the party a trespasser, ab initio, but the party aggrieved shall receive full satisfaction for the special damage sustained thereby, and no more, in an action of trespass or on the case: Provided always, that no tenant shall recover for such irregularity, if tender of amends hath been made by the party distraining, or his agent, before action brought.
